Activities while at NSU: Intern with the Norfolk State University Foundation.

As the first in my family to finish college, I appreciate the encouragement that I received from many of the faculty and staff at NSU. They helped me focus on being successful and were enthusiastic about what I wanted to achieve. That helped me to build understanding, guidance and relationships with many of the faculty and staff.

NSU has given me a path to grow and more of an opportunity to become successful. The accomplishment is worth the effort—given that the knowledge I have obtained is useful in earning certificates and licenses, which will allow me to be even more competitive in the marketplace.
